United Airlines' New Policy Could Get Passengers Permanently Banned

If you've got a United Airlines flight coming up soon, don't forget to pack your headphones in your carry-on bag. The major airline recently updated its contract of carriage to require passengers listening to music, movies or any other kind of media to wear headphones while doing so. Violating the new policy could get you temporarily or permanently banned from flying United.

For most travelers, the new rule will be a welcome change as you'll no longer have to hear the competing sounds of different passengers' music, cartoons and other entertainment while trying to relax on your flight.
